We would like to thank the following collaborators, whose input has been invaluable to our work: - Prof. Khanh Dao Duc & Mr. Artem Kushner at University of British Columbia (https://kdaoduc.com/) - Dr. Blake Sweeney, RNAcentral (https://rnacentral.org/) - Dr. Anton I. Petrov (R2DT, https://rnacentral.org/r2dt) - Dr. Chad R. Bernier (RiboVision, http://apollo.chemistry.gatech.edu/RiboVision/ ) - Dr. Alexander Rose, (Mol*, https://github.com/molstar) - Prof. Craig Zirbel (RNA3Dhub, http://rna.bgsu.edu/rna3dhub/ )

Our webserver would not be possible without these free resources: - Sequences and taxonomies were retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information and UniProt - PDB identifiers are filtered through the API provided by Dr. Khanh Dao Duc and Mr. Artem Kushner through their project for ribosomal structure analysis - RNA secondary structure diagrams - R2DT (https://rnacentral.org/r2dt) (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-23555-5) - Alignment viewer – modified version of the react implementation for the MSAViewer (10.1093/bioinformatics/btw474) - RNA Topology Viewer – modified version of the PDBe RNA viewer - FR3D - the 3D derived base pairs annotated according to Leontis and Westhof's notation (http://rna.bgsu.edu/rna3dhub/pdb/7K00/interactions/fr3d/basepairs)
- PDB topologies provided through the EBI PDBe REST API - MolStar Viewer – viewer ; Github - Parsing of sequences and alignments and calculation of frequencies was possible thanks to the Biopython package
